Document 2015 - September

I'm back today to share another layout. This one was done for the Document 2015 - September class at Big Pictures Classes. It's a great class series taught by Aly Dosdall. Each month she shares a sketch, a layout with process instructions and great tips for getting a round up of monthly highlights onto a scrapbook layout. This month she also shared a cutting file which I used for the September title in my layout below.

Aly's sketch this month included a column of horizontal tags down the page to frame the photos. I took my inspiration from that and used tags, but decided to put them in pockets. I created my own pockets from cardstock, stapling the sides to ensure the tags could easily slide in and out. Then I used my 1 inch circle punch to create the half circle notches in the front of each pocket. I placed my photos on the pockets and then was also able to include a couple more hidden photos and journaling on the tags in the pockets. 

For the tags with hidden pictures I flipped them over and added journaling to the back. This layout came together really easily and was lots of fun to make.
